Speaker 1: It is Monday, December twentieth, twenty twenty one, season seventeen,
Speaker 1: episode number eighty two. Welcome to the very latest edition
Speaker 1: of The Break, live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios
Speaker 1: at the Star. It is Christmas Week. We've got all
Speaker 1: kinds of goodies for you guys all week Monday through Thursday.
Speaker 1: There will be no show on Friday, but Monday to
Speaker 1: Thursday we got a lot of great talk for you,
Speaker 1: better talk than you'll hear anywhere else. And I'll put that,
Speaker 1: I'll put money on that. This is the best talk
Speaker 1: show and all the land, definitely, and anything has to
Speaker 1: do with the Dallas Cowboys. So we're glad you guys
Speaker 1: joined us. And so let's first talk about this. Cowboys win.
Speaker 1: Cowboys get three straight road wins, which I don't care
Speaker 1: who you're playing I don't care what the margin of
Speaker 1: victory is. Getting three straight road wins is a feat
Speaker 1: and it is a tough feat to accomplish in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Let's start with some storylines. Nick, tell
Speaker 1: me what is the storyline for you of this game. Well,
Speaker 1: they won three straight games on the road, and then,
Speaker 1: I don't care what. It doesn't matter who you're playing.
Speaker 1: That is a feat. That is an accomplishment. Like you said,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you took it. I mean, they
Speaker 1: won three straight games comfortably. For the most part. They
Speaker 1: dominated this game, and their defense is, you know, off
Speaker 1: the charts right now. Their defense is just absolutely carrying
Speaker 1: this team. And that's that's the storyline to me. As
Speaker 1: they can win by fifth team points and it felt
Speaker 1: like fifty. There was a period of my afternoon where
Speaker 1: I was I wasn't mad, but I was I was
Speaker 1: troubled by this team. I mean, you keep the talents
Speaker 1: is there, you see it every week and you just
Speaker 1: keep saying, well, this team sucks. They'll finally get on track,
Speaker 1: like they'll finally get on track against this miserable team,
Speaker 1: and they didn't Ceedee Lamb had a terrible game. Dak
Speaker 1: was fine. He wasn't great. The ground game actually got going,
Speaker 1: and so that made it even more disappointing. Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: got going, Like the stuff that we said they needed
Speaker 1: to do to get back on track happened, and they
Speaker 1: still didn't look good. They scored two touchdowns, they struggled
Speaker 1: to score twenty one points. As an offense, I mean
Speaker 1: the defense, they might be the best in the NFL
Speaker 1: right now. In all honesty, I got nothing bad to
Speaker 1: say about them, but offensively, you're just like, this secondary's decimated.
Speaker 1: I've got a friend that works in New York media
Speaker 1: that was like, if they can't get on track against
Speaker 1: this secondary, then they might not have a hope. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I think you're right. And they didn't.
Speaker 1: And so I say all this because I was just
Speaker 1: signing sitting there, I was like, what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? They're they're gonna be in trouble at some
Speaker 1: point because it's not gonna be Glennon and Hinuchy and
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill forever. And then I went back to my
Speaker 1: hotel to write, and I was cranking out my stories
Speaker 1: and doing this and that, and I look over and
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, Tyler Halley's about to maybe beat the Packers.
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on? And I went out to
Speaker 1: get a drink with a friend of mine after I
Speaker 1: was off of work and spent the whole night keeping
Speaker 1: an eye on the Saints score, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what on earth is going on down in Tampa? What
Speaker 1: the hell is happening in this league? And like by
Speaker 1: the end of the night, I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: ten wins is ten wins. Three of the road wins
Speaker 1: is three road wins. Who gives a damn how you
Speaker 1: do it? That's I went full circle in the span
Speaker 1: of about four hours where I was I started like
Speaker 1: as soon as the game hit zero zero's, I was like,
Speaker 1: they're not that good, They're just why can't they get
Speaker 1: this right? And like by the end of the night,
Speaker 1: I was like, screw it, they got they Look they're
Speaker 1: happier than everybody else in the NFC right now. Thank
Speaker 1: you for walking us through that, because I think there
Speaker 1: are probably a lot of fans that went through that
Speaker 1: realization moment last night where they may have started with
Speaker 1: man another game where they didn't feel great about a win,
Speaker 1: even though a win is a win, but by the
Speaker 1: end of the night. They're like, man, December football is hall.
Speaker 1: Hey whatever, you get a win, whichever way you get it,
Speaker 1: get in and how you fit in at this time
Speaker 1: of year, But what's your storyline of the game. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody just calls me a pessimist, but
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not happy, sorry, and I get it.
Speaker 1: A win is a win, and I get it. Three
Speaker 1: road games, yes, applause for you guys, But I just
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say that I haven't
Speaker 1: said before. And it goes week after week, and like
Speaker 1: they've said, you keep waiting for them to get going.
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, well it's not that bad. We still
Speaker 1: have a few games. You look at the opponents. You
Speaker 1: can do it. I mean, these other teams are not
Speaker 1: playing great, so it's doable. You get to see you
Speaker 1: get to see the Giants, and you're thinking, this is
Speaker 1: a perfect game for them to kind of click again
Speaker 1: on offense. And great thing from Zeke and Paula, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about them. That was good to
Speaker 1: see them going. But it just sucks not to be
Speaker 1: able to get the kind of offense that you're looking
Speaker 1: for to finish out this stretch and Dak, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he is gonna. I don't want to say
Speaker 1: that because I think he will. In my heart, I
Speaker 1: feel like, yes, that's what I want, and I think
Speaker 1: he will. But it's just it's not happening. We have
Speaker 1: not seen improvement from Dak. Even though was it Jerry
Speaker 1: that was saying that he saw some improvement from Dak.
Speaker 1: I missed Jerry last night. I thought Dak looked better yesterday. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was just about to go there, I actually think
Speaker 1: and I saw several people on Twitter saying that they
Speaker 1: didn't like Dak still not playing well, and I was like, really,
Speaker 1: I thought Dak played an efficient game. Like his stat line.
Speaker 1: Check out his stat line. He's twenty eight thirty seven.
Speaker 1: He had two hundred seventeen yards, touchdown, no interceptions, a
Speaker 1: ninety eight point six rating. That's a pretty good day. Now,
Speaker 1: of course you factor in some drops, which that ain't
Speaker 1: his fault, right, And and I look at this and
Speaker 1: I'm like, he would have been right there on the
Speaker 1: custom of a three hundred day had he just gotten
Speaker 1: some basic catches from some of these guys. I just again,
Speaker 1: I don't think that this was a bad performance. By dad.
Speaker 1: He's had some bad he's had some stinkers. We've talked
Speaker 1: about that. I don't think this was it's just I
Speaker 1: think it's it looks worse because you never saw it flowing,
Speaker 1: you know. It just doesn't seem to have that kind
Speaker 1: of rhythm that you're used to see in earlier on
Speaker 1: in the year. But to me, it's just it's not
Speaker 1: meeting the expectations. It's not he's not meeting the kind
Speaker 1: of level that he can and he said that before.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. We'll see how they keep going
Speaker 1: to finish out December. So let me let's talk about
Speaker 1: it just from a big picture offensive standpoint. They had
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Now, those two touchdowns when when they had
Speaker 1: short fields, they had the bought the New York Giant,
Speaker 1: they got the ball to New York Giant thirteen and
Speaker 1: the twenty nine. That's when they scored touchdowns. They were
Speaker 1: two or five in the red zone, which red zone
Speaker 1: still continues to be a big problem for them. What
Speaker 1: do you think was the overall problem with the offense
Speaker 1: still in their ability to be able to move the
Speaker 1: ball and get points. I think this is just a
Speaker 1: continuation of what we've seen, which is I was going
Speaker 1: to say this off of what AG was just saying.
Speaker 1: Teams are forcing them to do the death by a
Speaker 1: thousand cuts thing, like they just and they can't break
Speaker 1: out of it, and they're not consistent enough to string
Speaker 1: that together. And sometimes it's Dack's fault. Yesterday. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if CD makes those three catches, that's probably as much
Speaker 1: as sixty yards and continuing several different drives that you
Speaker 1: have scoring opportunities. But like I said, I feel a
Speaker 1: lot better about it after everything that happened yesterday. But
Speaker 1: Dak went back to this a couple times in the
Speaker 1: press conference where he was like, well, that's how teams
Speaker 1: are playing us. They're gonna put a shell on us.
Speaker 1: They're not going to allow any big plays. And I'm
Speaker 1: just like I thought, y'all had the best receiver corps
Speaker 1: in the league, like I, and this is a giant
Speaker 1: secondary that's completely decimated, like they didn't have they don't
Speaker 1: have most of their good players like Covid reeked havoc
Speaker 1: on them, and they still weren't able to open things
Speaker 1: up and have any have really any downfield passing attack.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I wrote this in my story
Speaker 1: like a Mari gallop and CD accounted for like seventy
Speaker 1: yards of offense eighty eighty yards basically, and most of
Speaker 1: that was CD, who had the worst day of the three.
Speaker 1: So that's just it's disconcerting that they just they're they're
Speaker 1: having to string together all of these smaller plays to
Speaker 1: really put together scoring drives and that's that's not what
Speaker 1: I envisioned. And they don't run the ball well right now,
Speaker 1: and they haven't been running it well. We've seen that,
Speaker 1: and that you have to run the ball in a
Speaker 1: game like that. It's easy to sit and watch the
Speaker 1: game from the TV or from the press box or
Speaker 1: whatever and just think, well, you got to open the
Speaker 1: ball up. But if you're down on the field and
Speaker 1: you can see that, like it's not a day to pass.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a day to kick. It wasn't a day
Speaker 1: to pass. I mean, it's a tough place to throw
Speaker 1: the ball around, and so if you're not gonna throw
Speaker 1: it deep, you can't throw it deep. You can see
Speaker 1: what was happening with the ball. You have to be
Speaker 1: able to run it, and this team is struggling running
Speaker 1: the ball. So kind of a one dimensional team, And
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's not a huge excuse because I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do anything, you're gonna have to go
Speaker 1: through Green Bay and the weather conditions are gonna be
Speaker 1: tough there. So but you know, it certainly wasn't a
Speaker 1: day to throw the ball around the yard. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you about the running game, because if you look
Speaker 1: at the stat line, Tony Poler had twelve carries seventy
Speaker 1: four yards a six point two average. Zeke at sixteen
Speaker 1: carries fifty two yards a three point three average. You
Speaker 1: look at that, in your natural inclination is to say
Speaker 1: they were running the ball with Tony pretty well, like
Speaker 1: the average is six point two. Zeke was the one
Speaker 1: that you look at his carries and he's had a
Speaker 1: three point three average. Is it that simple or there
Speaker 1: other things that don't help? Okay, ask the question. It's
Speaker 1: not that simple because and I and I gotta go
Speaker 1: back and look. But I mean sometimes on second and two,
Speaker 1: if you get or third and two, if you get two,
Speaker 1: yeah you did your job, and then that kills your
Speaker 1: average and all that. But there's no doubt Pollard around
Speaker 1: the corner. I mean, I mean, I think it worked
Speaker 1: well yesterday and inside outside a little bit more for
Speaker 1: Pollard or running the ball better average, of course, But
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the touchdown run wasn't was a
Speaker 1: good play by Zeke and a good good hole by
Speaker 1: Connor Williams and be honest or so you know that
Speaker 1: they they got to run it more efficiently though, if
Speaker 1: they're going to, especially in conditions like that. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it was like a dust storm out there,
Speaker 1: but it was really tough. I mean that's why, I
Speaker 1: mean everyone wants to cut the kicker. I mean, he
Speaker 1: missed two extra points in the meadow lands. I think
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. I actually thought Zeke looked
Speaker 1: pretty good yesterday. I'm looking I'm looking back through it
Speaker 1: to see like you're seeing some ones twos and zeros
Speaker 1: in second half, Like particularly in the first half, I
Speaker 1: thought he looked good. I mean the first touchdown was like,
Speaker 1: very nice run, very good blocking by that was great
Speaker 1: blocking off. And so I wonder if he kind of
Speaker 1: wore down as he started taking more hits. I mean,
Speaker 1: he did carry the ball sixteen times. I'm at this point,
Speaker 1: I think, unless unless you're willing to take the steps
Speaker 1: to sit him down which doesn't seem like they want
Speaker 1: to do that. And that's fine. I keep saying I
Speaker 1: don't really want to do that, but like, unless you're
Speaker 1: willing to do that, I think it's probably time to
Speaker 1: consider Tony having the larger workload. And that's ironic because
Speaker 1: Tony's dealing with an injury as well, but he has
Speaker 1: had more success over this second half of the season,
Speaker 1: and that's pretty healthy. Yesterday, yeah, he looked fine. He
Speaker 1: had a couple where he was like one broken tackle
Speaker 1: away from going maybe not the distance, but a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot further than he did. So I definitely
Speaker 1: I thought Zeke ran about as well as he has
Speaker 1: since the bye week yesterday. But if you're not going
Speaker 1: to sit him down and give him a chance to
Speaker 1: get healthy, then I'm ready to say Tony should probably
Speaker 1: have a larger percent of the workload. So, Nick, you
Speaker 1: didn't think the running game even what they needed yesterday, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I just felt like it was borderline to
Speaker 1: one dimensional. I mean it was. It was a tough
Speaker 1: day to throw out there, and when you're throat, when
Speaker 1: you can't throw it deep, you're gonna have to lean
Speaker 1: on the run, and that's not been their strong suit.
Speaker 1: They ran okay, one hundred and twenty five yards, but
Speaker 1: they needed to run it better in a game, In
Speaker 1: a game like that, I mean, that's that's all I'm saying,
Speaker 1: is you're gonna get into games where, maybe some cold weather,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be able to lean on the run.
Speaker 1: And that's just not something they've been able to do lately,
Speaker 1: is lean on the run. I'm not I'm not really
Speaker 1: worried that much about the passing game too much. I
Speaker 1: think I think they'll get back on track the next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Just that's that's what I thought this,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought this would be, which and you're right,
Speaker 1: the conditions. The conditions aren't perfect, I guess, But I
Speaker 1: just don't know what people are wanting. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: ten and four. You're ten and four. This is a
Speaker 1: great football team. This is a great football team. I
Speaker 1: wanted to feel like they're not pulling teeth to get
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty eight yards of offense against a
Speaker 1: terrible teams. I mean, that's what I want, And I
Speaker 1: get I mean, like like I said, I get it.
Speaker 1: They're ten and four. They jumped into the two seat
Speaker 1: in the NFC yesterday. Like I'm not saying you need
Speaker 1: to be unhappy or think that they suck, but it's
Speaker 1: very fair to wonder what happened to the team, to
Speaker 1: the offense that was just cranking out four hundred yard
Speaker 1: games like it was nothing. Is it fair to say?
Speaker 1: And actually, we're gonna take a break, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pose this question before we'll come back and talk about it.
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say that maybe what we saw
Speaker 1: Denver say after that game, which is teams are not
Speaker 1: playing them the right way, what we think we saw
Speaker 1: from what Denver did was we're going to force you
Speaker 1: to drive the field. Is it not fair to say
Speaker 1: that this is what you get when teams say we're
Speaker 1: gonna make you drive in small chunks down the field
Speaker 1: and Dallas is gonna have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: they sustain drives yesterday, but at this point they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to sustain that and figure out how to get
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Is it fair to say that
Speaker 1: they are doing what teams are giving them the ability
Speaker 1: to do and that may just be how they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to play in order to win. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 1: is the second second of the Break Life and s
Speaker 1: WBC Mortg Studios. At the start, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys win over the New York Giants. They win twenty
Speaker 1: one to six. Before the break I was asking this question,
Speaker 1: you look at how the Cowboys played yesterday. They complete
Speaker 1: a high percentage. Your plat passes a lot of underneath throws.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought they ran the belt the ball efficiently.
Speaker 1: I thought they got what they needed out of their
Speaker 1: running game for a game like this. Their defense played outstanding.
Speaker 1: Is that not the formula maybe for how Dallas needs
Speaker 1: to play? And we need to maybe give up that
Speaker 1: whole idea of you know, you can throw for three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four hundred yards and win games, and
Speaker 1: maybe this is a better, more sustainable way of winning
Speaker 1: football games. Yeah, I mean That's something Kellen Moore is
Speaker 1: going to have to realize and if he hasn't already,
Speaker 1: is that you know, you can win games kicking field
Speaker 1: goals with this defense, not with just with all defense,
Speaker 1: but with this defense in a game like that, you
Speaker 1: got to understand. And I don't think it's bad to say,
Speaker 1: I've said this on the radio this morning. I mean
Speaker 1: Doc is a bus driver right now. That's what he
Speaker 1: needs to do is drive the bus. This offense is
Speaker 1: not what it was before. And this is a defensive
Speaker 1: football team. So you know, yes, be less conservative down
Speaker 1: in the red zone, kick field goals, put your best
Speaker 1: unit back on the field. I mean there are certain
Speaker 1: games where you have to do that, and I think
Speaker 1: every game takes on a life of its own. When
Speaker 1: you're facing Mike Glennon and Taylor Heinekey and those guys,
Speaker 1: you know, be smart, don't don't And I understand why
Speaker 1: they're turning the ball over in the fourth court. I
Speaker 1: mean eight minutes to go, they're doing these bootlegs and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I mean that's just the arrogance that
Speaker 1: I still don't think that they've gotten out of and
Speaker 1: say this is not what we need to do not
Speaker 1: at that point in the game, run the ball, punt it,
Speaker 1: and let your best unit get on the field and
Speaker 1: take control. Do you think that was about them? Them
Speaker 1: also wanting to get this offense on tracks, so they're like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep trying, keep trying, everything this thing going, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the only thing I can think of,
Speaker 1: because you're right, just if you watching the game, you're like,
Speaker 1: just put this thing away. Why are you doing that? Well,
Speaker 1: you don't have to. I'm like Dak struggles with impatience
Speaker 1: and greediness. I mean, maybe he would take issue with
Speaker 1: that if he heard me say it, but like every
Speaker 1: week he's like, yeah, that was me being greedy. You know,
Speaker 1: he held on in the ball too long because he
Speaker 1: was looking for Amari further down the field. He had
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup open. He said that himself, and that's a
Speaker 1: recurring theme, like he's frustrated by not having the plays
Speaker 1: that were there for him earlier in the season and
Speaker 1: he's trying to get it. Reminds me of me playing Madden.
Speaker 1: I say that all the time, like when you're when
Speaker 1: you can't get it working, you just start forcing stuff
Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm getting my damn stats. I don't care,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that Dak cares more about stats
Speaker 1: than wins, but you get accustomed to that, and you
Speaker 1: also know you have the talent to make it happen.
Speaker 1: And that's why I disagree with with that, not completely,
Speaker 1: because I do think that there are important elements to
Speaker 1: playing this late season, December playoff football. You gotta be
Speaker 1: able to run the ball, you gotta be fundamentally sound.
Speaker 1: But just too much talent on this offense for me
Speaker 1: to be like, you know, you guys, just run it
Speaker 1: three times and put the defense back on the field,
Speaker 1: like And that's what's frustrating about this game is even
Speaker 1: in the conditions again, CD left like fifty sixty yards
Speaker 1: of offense on the field with just simple mistakes that
Speaker 1: a great receiver shouldn't make the crosser to Amari. I
Speaker 1: think it was the very first possession of the game,
Speaker 1: Like Dad can make that throw in his sleep, or
Speaker 1: should it could at one point in his life, and
Speaker 1: he just can't right now. And that's what makes it frustrating,
Speaker 1: is like again I keep saying it like you're you're
Speaker 1: just slightly off and they just can't make it. Click,
Speaker 1: and so imagine how much more devastating this team could
Speaker 1: be if you're adding sixty two one hundred more yards
Speaker 1: of passing offense, getting into the red zone two or
Speaker 1: three more times a game. And it's just frustrating because
Speaker 1: it's it's not like they're just banged up beyond belief
Speaker 1: and don't have the horses to make it work. They
Speaker 1: just can't get it right. Ever. See, my concern is
Speaker 1: look at the opponents that they've been playing, and I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to diminish what the defense has
Speaker 1: been doing because I think they're playing great, like really
Speaker 1: really good. But look who they've been playing lately. And
Speaker 1: the last game that was like the toughest opponent, I
Speaker 1: would say it was the Chiefs, right, would you agree?
Speaker 1: They held them to nineteen points? But then look at
Speaker 1: what the offense did only nine points. So that's my concern.
Speaker 1: It's like, what happens once you move past these quote
Speaker 1: unquote bad teams. What happens when you get to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: maybe against the Cardinals. What does the offense do for you?
Speaker 1: Because and I was gonna ask you, I mean, do
Speaker 1: you still fully believe that you can and you mentioned
Speaker 1: I forgot what team that was that was all about defense,
Speaker 1: and they got to the Super Bowl and one who
Speaker 1: was it the Giants a long time ago, And it's
Speaker 1: just like, I'm finding it very hard to believe. And
Speaker 1: I get it. A lot of people say, oh, defenses
Speaker 1: win championships, but when you see the way that this
Speaker 1: offense has been playing, I'm just like, it's scary. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's concerning because as much as the defense is
Speaker 1: doing for you, what are they doing when they give
Speaker 1: you the ball back? Nothing? So that's my problem. This
Speaker 1: all they got yesterday on the two turnovers, they got
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. They had four. Yeah, I'm saying, but on
Speaker 1: two of those when they got the ball in favorable
Speaker 1: field position, not not what would be typically when you
Speaker 1: get it after punt. Let's say, like they turn those
Speaker 1: into touchdowns. But in the most part, and like when
Speaker 1: they get to the red zone, they still have issues
Speaker 1: with the red zone. So that's that's the thing. Is
Speaker 1: the talent that they have. We know, we've seen it,
Speaker 1: and that's the problem with such a talented offense. They
Speaker 1: should be playing better. We've seen them playing better. And
Speaker 1: Nick kept saying. Nick kept saying, oh, ten and four.
Speaker 1: How can you be mad at ten and four? Well,
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't. You keep saying no, but you
Speaker 1: can be mad because you look at I get it.
Speaker 1: The win is a win and it's great. And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if that led you to
Speaker 1: a trophy, you still have the trophy. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: even when they were playing better, you were seeing the
Speaker 1: struggles that they were having. They were still having struggles
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year with how amazing they
Speaker 1: were playing, but the difference was that they were able
Speaker 1: to overcome things. They were able to make adjustment and
Speaker 1: do better. This part of the season, they are unable
Speaker 1: to do that. They haven't shown the quality of being
Speaker 1: capable of overcoming things, even though they got their players
Speaker 1: healthy for the most part back. So let me ask
Speaker 1: this quite good, I mean, you and I are typically
Speaker 1: aligned on this, but like, they've won three in a row,
Speaker 1: so clearly they've overcome not being good. Like I have
Speaker 1: to give them credit for that or finding ways to
Speaker 1: win these games, which in December you have to be
Speaker 1: you have to do that in December and in January football.
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this question, because I thought
Speaker 1: this was something very interesting that Mike McCarthy mentioned last week.
Speaker 1: He was talking about December football, and he said, basically,
Speaker 1: early in the season, you can play and you win
Speaker 1: on you can win a lot of games, and you
Speaker 1: can move the ball offensively through scheme because teams don't
Speaker 1: know what you're doing. You can catch them off guard.
Speaker 1: As soon as they catch up to that, you can
Speaker 1: give them something different. He said, Once you get to
Speaker 1: December football, it's no longer about scheme. It is about
Speaker 1: the ability to execute. It is about the ability, it's
Speaker 1: about your technique. Is it maybe a possibility that we
Speaker 1: overestimated how good these offensive skill or offensive players are.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying skill, offensive line the whole thing. Are
Speaker 1: we overestimating how good they are? Where now it's no
Speaker 1: longer about scheme. Maybe they got by early with scheme.
Speaker 1: Maybe scheme got them those four hundred yard days. Maybe
Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now is that when teams know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do, they just can't execute to the
Speaker 1: level to be able to put up thirty forty point No.
Speaker 1: Simply put, they gave Dak forty million in the offseason.
Speaker 1: They gave Cooper twenty million the year before that. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about the money. I'm asking you, are they
Speaker 1: good enough? Why do you get paid that type of money?
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper has never not had a thousand yards season
Speaker 1: in his life. Well, like they've given contract They've given
Speaker 1: contracts to people who haven't live until so all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, guys are not good. No, I'm asking you
Speaker 1: the question. I'm asking you the question. Is there a
Speaker 1: possibility here that if they were doing all these things
Speaker 1: early in the season, and we all agree they're not
Speaker 1: performing at the level that they were performing early in
Speaker 1: the season. Is it because possibly that it's caught up
Speaker 1: to him that the scheme was the reason why they
Speaker 1: were getting so much success early and maybe now that
Speaker 1: teams know what they're doing, they just don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to put up those kinds of points. And you
Speaker 1: have to settle for the fact that this is a
Speaker 1: good offense, not a great offense, and you hope your
Speaker 1: defense continues to be great. I mean, you're not going
Speaker 1: to have runs like they had in September and October.
Speaker 1: Everybody gets that. But they've scored five touchdowns in the
Speaker 1: last month. No, lie, they're better than that. They just are. Like,
Speaker 1: that's at what point? And what do they have to
Speaker 1: do to make you believe that what they're showing is
Speaker 1: just who they are. They go, I gotta win, and
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta win in the playoffs, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You can win all these games, thirty one
Speaker 1: to ten, thirty seven to ten, we could be sitting here,
Speaker 1: they could still be ten and four and nothing. None
Speaker 1: of that's gonna matter if you go to you don't
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay and win, or you don't go
Speaker 1: to Tampa or whatever and win. So so I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here and saying, I'm here, hey, well, well this is
Speaker 1: this is a good this is a good team. They're
Speaker 1: they're tending for that. They're like, what second best record
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, They're they're they're a good
Speaker 1: team with a great defense and an average offense. That's
Speaker 1: what it's looking like right now. But like even if
Speaker 1: it was an above average offense, that doesn't mean it
Speaker 1: matters if you don't go to and win in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I I'm sitting here and saying I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's like all fine and stuff. They're still
Speaker 1: gonna have to go and execute in the playoffs. But
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I mean, I just don't think
Speaker 1: it should be disappointing or embarrassing or anything because this
Speaker 1: football team is leaning on its defense now, I mean
Speaker 1: that they their defense is special. You have to have
Speaker 1: something special to win, and they have something special. They
Speaker 1: just flipped on this. It's agree. I'm not disappointed. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do. What they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: I just think and to answer your question more directly,
Speaker 1: every win buys them another week where I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: like we started to clock back over, they get another
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and and this is gonna
Speaker 1: be fun. Not so much this game. I mean, this
Speaker 1: will still be a big game, but you get a
Speaker 1: chance to go against Kyler Murray and the team. I
Speaker 1: know they just lost to the Lions, but it's still good.
Speaker 1: Still have been. They've had the best record in the
Speaker 1: NFC basically all years. So you get a chance, and
Speaker 1: it's fun to think. You get a chance to test
Speaker 1: yourself against that type of opponent without the stakes being
Speaker 1: as high like you're gonna be in the playoffs. So
Speaker 1: that's fine. This isn't gonna make or break your season,
Speaker 1: and so that'll be that'll be a fun measuring stick.
Speaker 1: I just think, and I swear I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: take away from anything the defense has done. They've been amazing, Uh,
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, Taylor Heineke, and Mike Glennon. He was they
Speaker 1: scored nine points. I mean, I'm just saying, yeah, it
Speaker 1: reminds me like we did his best if they scored
Speaker 1: that point. We did this last year or too, where
Speaker 1: they beat Cincy, San Francisco and Philly and they forced
Speaker 1: a bunch of turnovers. And again like, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to take that away from them, but it'll be Rogers
Speaker 1: at some point, or Kyler or Tom Brady, whatever it's
Speaker 1: And that's so that's I think. It's not disappointment, so
Speaker 1: much is concern of like you can get away with
Speaker 1: this right now, you won't be able to forever. I
Speaker 1: know we're on the same page. And to answer your question,
Speaker 1: like I still strongly believe that they are really talented,
Speaker 1: it is there. It is one of those I'm not
Speaker 1: a musician, so I don't know, but when I see
Speaker 1: someone like with a guitar or something and it's just
Speaker 1: like they're turning a knob to the sign and he's say,
Speaker 1: and then you just needed to turn something. I've been
Speaker 1: looking to turn it around just one bit. Like that's
Speaker 1: how I feel this off is. It's just like I've
Speaker 1: been looking for. They're kind of flat right now. You
Speaker 1: gotta get them, you gotta get them right. You've nailed it.
Speaker 1: I've been looking for an analogy, and that's perfect. Like
Speaker 1: you can play the song and it'll be fine, but
Speaker 1: you like, it's not right in the pitch then, and
Speaker 1: even and even to the average listener it sounds okay,
Speaker 1: but to the person playing and it's I'm just a tash,
Speaker 1: gotta find that turn and then they'll be right there.
Speaker 1: Like that's how close I think there really are. And
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that the talent is there, and I
Speaker 1: really hope that they're able to show it before the
Speaker 1: season ends, at least in the last two games. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, you got I'm not so convinced.
Speaker 1: I honestly believe this offensive line is not performing at
Speaker 1: the level that that kind of great offense has to
Speaker 1: have from its offensive line. I think as a result
Speaker 1: of that, this offense is not able to operate at
Speaker 1: the optimal level and they were able to do it
Speaker 1: earlier in the season when number when they were healthier,
Speaker 1: but number two, when they had a situation where they,
Speaker 1: you know, would just they could do some things with skin.
Speaker 1: And I think that's all caught up with them. And
Speaker 1: I know, I think defenses know exactly where they need
Speaker 1: to affect this offense because of whether there are deficiencies
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. And I think that's what shows up.
Speaker 1: And I don't think they will solve that this season.
Speaker 1: I really don't see. I think they might because I
Speaker 1: going back to the run game, I thought you could
Speaker 1: tell a noticeable difference with Connor Williams in the line up.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break because I want to talk about that,
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about if we think Connor
Speaker 1: Williams made that big of a difference because this was
Speaker 1: a better running game than we've seen the last several weeks.
Speaker 1: We'll take our final break, come back and talk about that.

Speaker 1: the final segment of the break Life in SWBC Mortgage
Speaker 1: Studios at the start did mentioned earlier, I want to
Speaker 1: keep reiterating we will not be doing shows on Friday.
Speaker 1: These guys are going to get a little time to
Speaker 1: spend some time with their families. On Chris, what episode
Speaker 1: is this? Do you did? I forget the number? It
Speaker 1: was eighty two? Thank you, we can move on. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: we all know what that is, all right. I didn't
Speaker 1: think I needed to say it, but eighty two. We
Speaker 1: know who it is. It's to the goat, all right, good,
Speaker 1: all right now, Dave, you brought at this point right
Speaker 1: before the break, and I thought it was interesting. It
Speaker 1: was one thing something I noted that I wanted to
Speaker 1: give you guys all a chance to sound off about.
Speaker 1: Had Connor Williams back at left guard yesterday? Had Connor
Speaker 1: mcgovernment back at his fullback, whole package, whatever whoever they
Speaker 1: want to put him. And I think to me there
Speaker 1: was no coincidence that the running game seemed to be
Speaker 1: more efficient yesterday. Do you guys think that that was
Speaker 1: in large part due to them going back to that lineup?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's there's always gonna be more
Speaker 1: to it than that. You need like eight people doing
Speaker 1: their jobs right to run the ball well. But yes,
Speaker 1: I thought Connor made a difference. He got a great
Speaker 1: he sealed the alley for Zeke on the first touchdown.
Speaker 1: He got to the second level. They used his athleticism
Speaker 1: to pull him on. Some of the players to the outside.
Speaker 1: They looked like themselves like Zeke. It wasn't like the
Speaker 1: most amazing run of his life, but he ran like
Speaker 1: the stretch, play to the edge and looked for the
Speaker 1: whole like you know, like we've seen him do a
Speaker 1: million times. I feel like I haven't seen him doing
Speaker 1: that in the last six seven weeks, and he was
Speaker 1: doing that yesterday for decent, if not amazing gains. And
Speaker 1: so the reason I said that at the end of
Speaker 1: the last segment was put Connor with tyring. Hopefully he'll
Speaker 1: be back sooner rather than later. Maybe maybe you're cooking
Speaker 1: with something. They're both more comfortable in those positions. I think.
Speaker 1: I think Connor Williams is more comfortable starting, and also
Speaker 1: they pull with him a lot more. He's a lot
Speaker 1: more athletic. And then strangely enough, I mean Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: seems to be just a better player in this whole package.
Speaker 1: I mean, he does a nice job of of, you know,
Speaker 1: having space and then finding the guy in blocking, and
Speaker 1: I think they're they're doing different things with him. I
Speaker 1: think both of them, though, are in a better spot.
Speaker 1: And I think that they can run the football and
Speaker 1: be a little bit more versatile, especially you know in
Speaker 1: the red zone that they didn't they didn't really do
Speaker 1: anything in this red zone. But I honestly think they
Speaker 1: kind of took their foot off the gas a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think you get in a game like that. I
Speaker 1: think that they were a lot more conservative with some
Speaker 1: of the play calling and just and you know, we're
Speaker 1: not getting throwing an interception in that end zone. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything. You're gonna get your field goal,
Speaker 1: get your points. We saw it. Third and seven, Yeah,
Speaker 1: third and seven in a draw at the middle. Was
Speaker 1: that because of ze I mean Dak, was that because
Speaker 1: of their phraserline might miss again, whatever it was, But
Speaker 1: they went and took the points. And I think that
Speaker 1: was kind of a combination of Hey, let's just let's
Speaker 1: just keep this thing going. Let's just keep stacking points.
Speaker 1: Because Mike glenn is still throwing balls. As as as
Speaker 1: disappointed as I was by the offensive performance, like I
Speaker 1: think there was a very deliberate they're not beating us
Speaker 1: as long as we're as long as we get to
Speaker 1: like fourteen and fifteen whatever points, Like, they're not going
Speaker 1: to score seventeen to twenty one points. And I think
Speaker 1: that was part of their philosopher standing at the ten
Speaker 1: yard line at the end of the game and they're
Speaker 1: they're down there and I'm on there with you and Shannon,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they're not gonna score. There's no They're
Speaker 1: They're sitting on the ten and they're like, they're not scoring, ye,
Speaker 1: and they're just not They're not gonna get in like
Speaker 1: who That's why I called this team of must watch defense,
Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna make a play, somebody. And every time,
Speaker 1: I mean thinking an interception in Dave's like in the
Speaker 1: press box, was that digs Was that digs And I
Speaker 1: was thinking it too well, it was it was almost
Speaker 1: like there's disappointment because it's Hooker, you know, because you
Speaker 1: want digs By the way really well, he's playing really
Speaker 1: good football, play outstanding, I mean Pro Football focus had
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in football yesterday. Um, but like
Speaker 1: I'm always looking for Parsons. I'm sure the quarterback is too.
Speaker 1: Every snap I'm looking for Parsons. I get mad when
Speaker 1: he's on the bench, like picking a break. What are
Speaker 1: you doing, hell, rookie, it's not it's probably. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's kind of bs that we've gotten this far into
Speaker 1: the show without really talking about the way that they played.
Speaker 1: I mean that they were amazing, and I know the
Speaker 1: Giants suck, but Parsons switching off of a guy to
Speaker 1: take Gala Day to the to the pieline on and
Speaker 1: break up the pass without drawing a pass interference as
Speaker 1: a linebacker, may are you he insane? Is the best
Speaker 1: defensive player this year in football. And I don't care
Speaker 1: what anybody has to say, because I don't care whatever
Speaker 1: guy you name, I'm gonna say he doesn't do all
Speaker 1: the things that Michael Parsons does. Good job, good job
Speaker 1: all three of us yesterday for not jumping on side.
Speaker 1: So I was so ready. I was so ready just
Speaker 1: launching him in full debate mode and like talk him
Speaker 1: down to New Yorkers were just going at it about
Speaker 1: and their best New York accent. I can't stand but
Speaker 1: go ahead. They're just going at it, how mica, I mean,
Speaker 1: compare him to Derek Thomas. What you don't have to
Speaker 1: be compared to the best that ever played the game.
Speaker 1: And then then the guy came over and it was
Speaker 1: like he had one hundred and thirty five tackles as
Speaker 1: a rookie. Everyone who can just go f themselves. I'm like, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: We're taking it there. You know, people are like weirdly
Speaker 1: defensive of LT, considering like every franchise has a guy
Speaker 1: like LT. Yet well just a guy like that, like
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame, goat caliber player, all time player. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I like it would be easy to say, like
Speaker 1: throw some jab and be like, well, yeah, you've been
Speaker 1: pathetic for the last five years. Of course you're going
Speaker 1: to cling to your history. But like they've won Super
Speaker 1: Bowls more recently than the Cowboys have, So what are
Speaker 1: you so defensive about? Like, the comparison is just the
Speaker 1: fact that Michael Parsons has a really, really good chance
Speaker 1: to win two awards that no one has done in
Speaker 1: the same season since Yah Lawrence Taylor. That's what. And
Speaker 1: if you compare Lawrence Taylor I'm not saying he's Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is compare their rookie years. I think
Speaker 1: Mica is making a comparable He's having a comparable rookie year.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the part that to me can't like,
Speaker 1: don't get lost in the fact you brought up his name,
Speaker 1: like no players should be at a point where you
Speaker 1: can't bring up his name like he literally Mica is
Speaker 1: having a rookie year. That's just it's historic in my opinion,
Speaker 1: Let's just go down the line and make sure everybody
Speaker 1: gets their flowers. DeMarcus Lawrence maybe, I mean, one of
Speaker 1: the most dominant games I can remember him playing. It's
Speaker 1: amazing what a guy can do when he's finally got
Speaker 1: help and not being double teamed all the time, and
Speaker 1: he's got Michael pars second with him. Wow, Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: Just not don't want to give anybody else some shine. No,
Speaker 1: but Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown got picked on on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and every team he's played since has tried to pick
Speaker 1: on him, and he's like, no, you're not doing that.
Speaker 1: Like he's been awesome for the last three weeks. Treyvon
Speaker 1: Diggs ten picks speaks for itself. Malie Hooker's coming on
Speaker 1: Jayron curse the play he made where he took the guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Saquan or Booker, but
Speaker 1: he came from the backside. He's just he just never
Speaker 1: stops hustling, like he just wants to hit somebody all
Speaker 1: the time. And it's fun to be in the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore just bullying the interior of the line. They
Speaker 1: didn't have Tristan Hill or OsO DIGGI zooa. He was
Speaker 1: fine with that. I don't know if did Randy even
Speaker 1: notch a stat. He might not have, but like that's
Speaker 1: just why stats are kind of bs, because he was
Speaker 1: giving them fits all day. He I don't know if
Speaker 1: he did. Look I don't, Okay, No, Randy Gregory had
Speaker 1: one tackle for loss and nothing quarterback hit and he
Speaker 1: I mean he You're talking about them not scoring from
Speaker 1: the ten yard line, Like that's why if you give
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory a free run at the quarterback, you're the
Speaker 1: play is not going to go the way that you
Speaker 1: wanted to. They were awesome, Layton Vanderesh. I thought he
Speaker 1: was more physical than he has been in recent weeks.
Speaker 1: Probably let the team in tackles, which you know, like
Speaker 1: they I mean, you gotta consider the opposition at times,
Speaker 1: but like, I mean, they're dominant. What so seventeen points
Speaker 1: against the Saints really thirteen points against Washington because of
Speaker 1: the pick six and then six points. I mean, it
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. But I was gonna mention earlier when
Speaker 1: Nick started talking and making his point, it's like, how
Speaker 1: cool is it the fact that you see so many
Speaker 1: different players making a play like names that you're like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, who was that? Oh I don't have a
Speaker 1: graphic for that guy. Okay, let's just put a generic
Speaker 1: graphic out. Sorry. But and you compare to the offense again,
Speaker 1: how we were talking about the offense earlier on in
Speaker 1: the year. It's like, oh man, everybody on offense is
Speaker 1: making plays. Everybody's getting like you got all kinds of
Speaker 1: different weapons on here and now somehow and that's the
Speaker 1: crazy thing. Somehow the defense is becoming what the offense
Speaker 1: was earlier in the season, and everybody on defense is
Speaker 1: winning something. And if it's not one guy, it's the other.
Speaker 1: So when you see and I was thinking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I bet I wonder how upset Mica is at this
Speaker 1: game that he wasn't able to really you know, show
Speaker 1: up on numbers or big plays like that. But that's
Speaker 1: the amazing part. And that's actually where I was going
Speaker 1: to go with this, and I was trying to get
Speaker 1: I need to pull it all together. A number of
Speaker 1: the plays, big plays that other guys got, go back
Speaker 1: and see what Michael was doing on There were so
Speaker 1: many plays where he was really the guy that created
Speaker 1: the situation. And that's why I mentioned it to you.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to take shine from anybody, but I
Speaker 1: think the reason why this defense is playing at this
Speaker 1: level ultimately comes down to a guy that soul can
Speaker 1: do so many different things and can affect the game
Speaker 1: in so many different ways like Mica can, and it's
Speaker 1: creating all these opportunities. And by the way, all these
Speaker 1: guys are capable when they get in those situations to
Speaker 1: take advantage, which oh, sorry, go ahead, and well, you know,
Speaker 1: I only I get to talk to these guys after
Speaker 1: the game. I don't get I don't get the guys
Speaker 1: on the podium. So I've talked to Dak only once
Speaker 1: and that was Minnesota when he didn't play. I've talked
Speaker 1: to Michael one other time, and it was New England.
Speaker 1: He was pissed, so he didn't like coming to see you. No, No,
Speaker 1: he was pissed because he didn't play well. He was
Speaker 1: gonna go to the podium, except for when Diggs got
Speaker 1: that pick. They flipped it. So I thought he might
Speaker 1: be kind of upset a little bit because you know,
Speaker 1: he had one tackle or whatever. Now he I think
Speaker 1: he understood and and and he you know, he answered
Speaker 1: the LT thing again and you know he said, no
Speaker 1: disrespect to him at all. You know, I'm not at
Speaker 1: that level. I'm just trying to make my own way
Speaker 1: and all that. But um, but you're right. I mean
Speaker 1: he did a lot of things. I thought that the
Speaker 1: play with Tank that he knocked him, you know, the
Speaker 1: first interception, I think he was coming around the edge
Speaker 1: just stepped up just a little bit. He had to
Speaker 1: step up. But um, you know, when I when I
Speaker 1: make my mental highlight reel of what Mike has done
Speaker 1: this year, the freaking the pass breakup on Galladay, I'll
Speaker 1: be in there. So like people can talk about him
Speaker 1: not having a great game, I thought he made one
Speaker 1: of his like five best plays of the season. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that in New Orleans sue with Herbert interception, the Herbert sack,
Speaker 1: the Taysom Hill sack. Yeah, the Saints play this play.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: on the short list, like and yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: obvious the way offenses have to account for where he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's He has been a remarkable player for Dallas, and
Speaker 1: I think when when it's all said and done, I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not gonna make a prediction of what he's
Speaker 1: gonna be long term throughout his career. What I can
Speaker 1: say is this year has been one of the best
Speaker 1: seasons I've ever watched the defensive player play, just from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of all the things he's had to do.
Speaker 1: I mean literally going from I'm gonna play linebacker to
Speaker 1: know this week I'm gonna put my hand on the
Speaker 1: ground and be a defensive end like he has done
Speaker 1: things that you just don't see players, not just rookies,
Speaker 1: player is doing NFL, and it's done it at an
Speaker 1: extremely high level. If he were a linebacker, he'd be
Speaker 1: going to Pro Bowl as a linebacker. If he were
Speaker 1: a defensive end full time, he'd be going to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl as a defensive end he has been. He's
Speaker 1: at that kind of season. Lawrence had a great quote
Speaker 1: last night where he was like, that's the beauty of
Speaker 1: it when you like, you gotta play all eleven of us,
Speaker 1: it's not just one guy. It's a good quote. But
Speaker 1: the really fun thing is that he's wrong because they've
Speaker 1: got like nineteen guys that you I mean, you know
Speaker 1: they got I can't. I still can't believe I'm saying this,
Speaker 1: Like they got more safeties than they know what to
Speaker 1: do with. Donald Wilson's not even playing right now. He'll
Speaker 1: be back eventually. You would assume Osa and Tristan will
Speaker 1: hopefully be ready for this game. How does that work?
Speaker 1: They were ruled out what sad Saturday, and it's well,
Speaker 1: it depends on it. They they could get a ten
Speaker 1: day they'd missed the next one, yes, but Cedric Wilson
Speaker 1: only missed four days, just as recently as last week.
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna protocols. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: readjust the way we think about some things with the
Speaker 1: new protocols, for sure. But yeah, no, I mean this
Speaker 1: defense is incredible. There's like seventeen or eighteen legitimate playmakers.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna start getting a lot better for
Speaker 1: the NFL teams. And it's not a coincidence either, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna start getting better for teams. The numbers of
Speaker 1: cases and players missing, I think are about to go
Speaker 1: down dramatically. So yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: As soon as we get some more clarity on what
Speaker 1: the protocols are and what they mean, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that a little bit more. All Right, we appreciate you guys, Joannas.
Speaker 1: We'll be back on tomorrow. We're gonna start getting ready.
Speaker 1: We've got a short week here, so we'll start getting
Speaker 1: ready for Cowboys versus the Washington Football team that will
Speaker 1: be for the division. Assuming tomorrow night there isn't a
Speaker 1: tie between the Washington Football team and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: That still is the one slight chance Cowboys app to
Speaker 1: clinch the division this week, but otherwise that will be
Speaker 1: the game for the division next weekend. We'll start talking
Speaker 1: about that tomorrow. For Nick Even, Dave Helmont, and Amber Garcia.
